The mission behind my artwork is to spread happiness and seeds of my gratitude to others because of our family's journey with my son. My son, 8, who is really a loving and kind spirit, has had his body hijacked with rage so severe we often had to restrain him daily, sometimes several times a day. We have undergone years of different treatments trying to get to the route cause. With years of searching for answers I have come across such loving spirits who have made a difference in our journey. The paintings on my shop are all made for those who have helped us along the way. Family, friends, teachers, therapists, others who have gone out of their way to understand and to love. My goal is to paint at least 100 paintings to say at least 100 thank yous to those special people who haven't given up on us even in the worst of situations. My invitations and paintings are an escape for me, a way for me to spread joy on a blank canvas in hopes that it they will bring smiles to others. Creating and working with bold colors and patterns are my medicine, and also make me think of the person my son really is inside: a joyful person ready to spread his wings and make a difference. I hope these paintings and invitations will bring a smile to your face, bring joy to your life, and help the gratitude I feel for all of our support travel around the world. They were painted with thankfulness and love, so spread it around baby! Make it a great day and a great life! Do something fantastic with yours! The Law of Karma is real.
